7 Cultural Life in Russia Stalin demanded that artists and writers create works in a style called socialist realism program designed to show Soviet life in a positive light and promote communism If artists/writers refused to conform to government expectations, they faced persecution

8 Russification Another way Stalin controlled cultural life was to promote russification Russia was the largest, most populous republic of the USSR But the USSR had other republics (Ukraine, Georgia, etc.) with minority ethniticies and different languages The goal was to force people of non- Russian nationalities to become more Russian Schools were forced to teach the Russian language instead of, for example, Ukraninan.

9 Russification

10 Religion The official Communist Party belief in atheism led to the cruel treatment of religious leaders Atheism = the doctrine or belief that there is no God.; disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings. Members of the Russian Orthodox Church were specifically targeted because they had previously supported the tsars before the Russian Revolution (1917) Communists also targeted Jews and Muslims

11 Social Order Communists destroyed the old social order Communism was supposed to be a classless, equal society Instead of creating a society of equals, Communist Party members became the heads of society Few Soviet citizens could join the Communist Party The leaders of the Communist Party, the elite in society, some military leaders and scientists had more privileges such as the best housing, best food, etc.

12 Communism

13 Benefits of Communism Still, under communism most people enjoyed free medical care, day care for children, cheaper housing, and public recreation Communist Party established sport, cultural activities, and political groups for young people to train to become party members Communist Party provided families with housing but entire families might live together in one single room! Women had equal rights by law women became doctors, engineers, scientists
